Chinese Bakery (Mark Radcliffe BBC Radio 1 Session 09.05.94) Songtext
von The Auteurs

She′s going downtown
But she comes from uptown
Where the brokers and the dealers socialize
She's going downtown
Cos she′s a poet
And the Chinese bakery's open all night
She's going downtown
But she comes from uptown
Where the brokers and the buyers socialize
She′s going downtown
Cos she′s a poet
And the Chinese bakery's open all night

Toulouse Lautrec called up today
Said it′s Rock n' Roll anyway
Excuse me while I′m tearing off your head
Epiphany just went to ground
The three wise men just can't be found
The underground just shook its weary head


She said she′s gonna show me around
The Chinese bakery that's open twenty hours
She's going downtown
But she comes from uptown
Where the brokers and the dealers socialize
She′s going downtown
Cos she′s a poet
And the Chinese bakery's open all night
Got a roller coaster in my head
You press the button - I′ll eject
Your present is just somebody's past
Don′t blink, pinch me twice
Just seen Bob Dylan on a motorbike
I don't think this relationship will last

She said she′s gonna show me around
The Chinese bakery that's open twenty hours

She's going downtown
But she comes from uptown
Where the brokers and the dealers socialize
She′s going downtown
Cos she′s a poet
And the Chinese bakery's open all night
And the Chinese bakery′s open all night
Open all Night
